But most of Cerrone's material was "ghost-written".

Cerrone was (and is) known to be a tad, shall we say, egotistical. It would be highly unusual of him to be involved in something and not have his name splashed all over the credits.

OH.

BUT ....... if ones were intentionally emulating a certain sound .... wouldn't it be a good idea to locate oneselves where the emulated lives ( I guess Cerrone lived in Paris?? ) ... where the emulated could conveniently drop in and provide input .... if already so agreed ?

By the way .... when these artists like Costandinos recorded in London ..... used the musicians there .... the studios ... wouldn't that define this arm of disco "British" ??

Remicks,

Do you really want Quinny to have a heart attack??? I thought we all understood that the British only listen and make Disco-Funk-Jazz and never Euro-Disco

Remicks,

I think this issue of British musicians is a great topic for a new post. Hint, hint...

It would be a great topic don't you think? Seriously, until you just mentioned it I never gave it any thought. British musicians playing Euro-Disco while waiting for that lucrative Jazz-Funk contract.

Back to the original topic, why do you think Madleen Kane's album has a Cerrone sound? My records are not with me now so I can't listen, but from what I recall I just can't make the connection. Maybe more Don Ray than Cerrone, possibly.

Back in the day I used to defend Euro Disco from the Rockers that said it was bad music, by countering..
"yes sure, that's why they have the London Synphony playing in the background"

Then later here I read that the Brits had nothing to do with Euro -Discoso there goes(went) my argument

You're really reaching here. You seem to think that because this is a good album, and Cerrone put his name on good albums, that this must therefore be a Cerrone album as if there was no other talent at the time. This reminds me of the guys who thought that every other new group in the 70s was really The Beatles working under an alias.

Michaële, Paul and Lana Sebastian were already established producers when they created this album. Thor Baldursson was also involved, and he would've had a lot of insight from his work with Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte. They might've borrowed some of the elements of the same style, but there's no need for direct involvement.

The problem with speculation like this is that it doesn't take long before someone accepts it as fact and passes it on (like people who still insist that Amanda Lear is transgendered). Another example is how a few MP3s have been mislabeled and uploaded to file networks, and you end up with people insisting that Real Life's "Send Me An Angel" is a long-lost early Pet Shop Boys track (despite the fact that it doesn't sound like PSB, and was a hit in its own right on three different occasions). If everyone believes something, things get to a point where it ultimately doesn't matter if it's true or not.

Remmy, there is NO connection between La Kane and Il Cerrone. It's always possible that they frequented the same Parisian Croissanterie but that would be all! There's a connection with French producer Jean Claude Friedrich!

Now, why don't you talk about Claudja Barry and Cerrone. There's a clear connection!



BTW, and off-topic: I'll be in Southampton tomorrow!

What do you guys think: is there a possibility of a meet and greet with El Quinny, now known as the Eurodiscomeister? (Yep, Bernie, we finally DISCOvered the unconvenient truth about the British musicians!) Quinnius, if you see a Red Mercedes Actros with Belgian plates, It's me!!!!!!!
